Lots of changes in life, but through all the struggles I have seen the Grace of God. This wonderful stamp from Cornish Farms certainly is so sweet. Coloured pencils were blended with mineral spirits. Edges of red card stock punch with a Martha Steward border punch. Grace letters were punched and distressed.<br /><br />Are your struggles over whelming? Take the time to pray, God will hear you.<br /><br />Blessings to you!<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"><strong>Bonnie<br /></strong></span>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-58451283788086188452010-02-17T16:19:00.000-08:002010-02-17T16:28:39.191-08:00So Simple and So Cute<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqTxnzx28C89VlkO_KfgItvXzn1wGpg0RMtg2n02oQIJ_om3l2pEj2ArSp-l_hUe64ssE4b0Gu3E6e8ICe9twAWT0FKWYcwuvsc_OL1Tm_jQYMc8TG2mTj1CC2s34brJ3BGBMKPoHLaZw/s1600-h/P2080025.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439371910476351986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqTxnzx28C89VlkO_KfgItvXzn1wGpg0RMtg2n02oQIJ_om3l2pEj2ArSp-l_hUe64ssE4b0Gu3E6e8ICe9twAWT0FKWYcwuvsc_OL1Tm_jQYMc8TG2mTj1CC2s34brJ3BGBMKPoHLaZw/s400/P2080025.JPG" /></a> Here is another cute stamp from Stamping Bella. There images are priceless and they have a huge selection to suit every occassion. Here I have used the same technique of blending pencil crayons and mineral spirits. The blending is done with a stump. I have used a glazed black pen to hightlight the polka dots and her hair. Embellishments of a quickutz border in white and pearls have completed this adorable little girl.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#3366ff;"><em>Bonnie<br /></em></span><div></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-85796691823788373382010-02-14T15:51:00.001-08:002010-02-14T15:59:41.011-08:00Happy Valentines Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYi83d_3pfUwYR0QVqzGArP5qs1o3tps5i2mvn3XEGVW6szLSGeFEtSga9RlCtWziRx92MhoFJacM4DaGomtD_tGoyXPO4VlLs51b-OwIvmgUTR5QVILoJGAi4BaKLt6OBHhcK-uUyQfI/s1600-h/IMG_8271_2.jpgsignature.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 341px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438251663800906354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYi83d_3pfUwYR0QVqzGArP5qs1o3tps5i2mvn3XEGVW6szLSGeFEtSga9RlCtWziRx92MhoFJacM4DaGomtD_tGoyXPO4VlLs51b-OwIvmgUTR5QVILoJGAi4BaKLt6OBHhcK-uUyQfI/s400/IMG_8271_2.jpgsignature.jpg" /></a> Happy Valentines Day!

We are warm, we are fed, we have an abundance and most of all the freedom to worship the new born King.<br />I hope that you are able to spend time in the stillness of this wonderful time of the year.<br />I pray that God will bless each one of you as you spend moments with friends and families.<br />It will be busy for us all for the next few days, so be safe in all that you do.<br />Merry Christmas to each of you.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-43813434990169054002009-12-15T08:07:00.000-08:002009-12-15T08:21:58.867-08:00Happy Birthday Sister<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimf6WAdXHULB_jRp5A6L-WUqC4Ggd49R-K5KQWFdIMYvOyYuTXoggfpbjJ-J-btg_0nlAAbZUdkHbX_oNRgzbsEqnJLreZbwGDgH34ghlNxusGgXAM-7Wy1nYbc7H1-R4TD0sUsKzwP_Q/s1600-h/Bonnie's+cards+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415496253490321234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 210px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 259px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimf6WAdXHULB_jRp5A6L-WUqC4Ggd49R-K5KQWFdIMYvOyYuTXoggfpbjJ-J-btg_0nlAAbZUdkHbX_oNRgzbsEqnJLreZbwGDgH34ghlNxusGgXAM-7Wy1nYbc7H1-R4TD0sUsKzwP_Q/s400/Bonnie's+cards+006.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br />I am so blessed to have 2 wonderful sisters.They live miles away but will always be constantly in my heart.The wonderful saying of sisters from birth...best friends for a life time is so true.<br />Today is my youngest sister birthday....I think she is 30...something.<br />This card is for you Carol....our "Christmas Carol"...God has blessed her with angels wings to touch the hearts of so many.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:+0;"><span style="font-size:+0;"><span style="font-size:+0;"><span style="font-size:+0;"><em>Love Bonnie<br /></em></span></span></span></span>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-68402005276453693882009-12-13T13:32:00.000-08:002009-12-13T14:06:51.560-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB8-QBkC027v-OKk3VF3luuuvfaZcnRJYDQZq8wOkyLF9malqH7dpbislUlGbUT7P0x0EWAJJsAo7zTI4Yp0IIXHXvlFRrutacD8ALmy3KtvdKCXDxMGeuyVNo6IGkiera95VvIM_oEUw/s1600-h/PC110490.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 282px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414837888736330146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB8-QBkC027v-OKk3VF3luuuvfaZcnRJYDQZq8wOkyLF9malqH7dpbislUlGbUT7P0x0EWAJJsAo7zTI4Yp0IIXHXvlFRrutacD8ALmy3KtvdKCXDxMGeuyVNo6IGkiera95VvIM_oEUw/s400/PC110490.JPG" /></a><br />Wishing you a Merry Christmas.<br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"><em>Bonnie</em></span>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-23577279387042320652009-12-04T17:53:00.000-08:002009-12-04T18:15:31.912-08:00Season's Greetings<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifttAodKmKgmyNcbcPsk3ljNj4LrlgG0-ebeBK1SJZ9ZZnRy3ISNXTqrUE7lPnW3NO6Hhz04DXWmc0g1ouPleB39PPGZI8f8c7YertD0p9ktAvLwS6rGYoz9AFh1XR3nDOAQBt6gZ-9EY/s1600-h/134_3408.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifttAodKmKgmyNcbcPsk3ljNj4LrlgG0-ebeBK1SJZ9ZZnRy3ISNXTqrUE7lPnW3NO6Hhz04DXWmc0g1ouPleB39PPGZI8f8c7YertD0p9ktAvLwS6rGYoz9AFh1XR3nDOAQBt6gZ-9EY/s400/134_3408.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411565921771732402" /></a><br />It is Friday and Christmas is in the air.I know that just north of us the snow is falling but not here...I love the snow.<br />Here is a Christmas Card from the wonderful stamps from Oxford Impressions. I love these stamps and of course the photo stamps.Colouring these images isn't that hard, I use waterdown felt markers.I save the styrofoam trays from the grocery store.They are a perfect, inexpensive pallette.Taking the colour you want,colour it on your tray and then with a thin haired brush, just keep watering it down til you get your desired shade.Test your colour on paper and when you are happy with it,then apply to your stamped image.It is better to start very light and then darken until get your desired shade. Try it...practice is sure to bring great results.<br />Enjoy every moment of the season and try to remember to savour the goodness of family and friends.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-75244547050880424232009-11-28T16:15:00.000-08:002009-12-12T05:13:19.346-08:00Blogging Inspirations<div>There are so many sites that are so inspirational to me.I would like to share one of my favourites with you.<br />Jacque has been asked to be a designer with Magnolia Stamps.I am sure that you will agree that she is so amazing at what she puts her hand to.<br /><a href="http://jacquesmagnolias.blogspot.com/">http://jacquesmagnolias.blogspot.com/</a></div>

<br />Adorable Magnolia,these little ladies are sure addicting.Each one is so unique.
<br />I especially like the little feet that you can dangle over the edge of anything.
<br />I used a butterfly cut out and embossed the rim with gold. I then nestled Tilda in that butterfly.Using a couple of my Martha Stewart punches I accented with the smaller butterflies and then the doubled scalloped border just below Tilda.
<br />I thought the satin polka dot ribbon completed the whole card.
<br />Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. We all have much to be Thankful for.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-71378990899119119612009-09-21T15:47:00.000-07:002009-12-12T05:13:19.351-08:00Spring Fever<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzy-JEeQCZ5yXioyv9E7KmhBvKBUp6f_zz78nWL3y5F-UQwzLFgJCYWq0enZCkGtuAU9F6AO0a4FoBx77ptoIcZXR8dHesY_7-x-QdyrJhwr4hM9_iiCRJ7soIoKADyLK6CQjgVR-UiHk/s1600-h/P1070018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291666899095591618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzy-JEeQCZ5yXioyv9E7KmhBvKBUp6f_zz78nWL3y5F-UQwzLFgJCYWq0enZCkGtuAU9F6AO0a4FoBx77ptoIcZXR8dHesY_7-x-QdyrJhwr4hM9_iiCRJ7soIoKADyLK6CQjgVR-UiHk/s400/P1070018.JPG" border="0" /></a>

<br />This photo stamp is from "The Stampsmith"( one of my favourite stamp sites). I stamped this lady with black ink on semi-gloss paper then mounted it on background paper that was actally 2 co-ordinating papers.I like pulling different papers together by lightly using distress ink all around the edges. The side punch,added in white all around the photo stamp,also helps to bring the focus to the beautiful lady. I stamped the tulips on separate paper, coloured them and then cut out,adhering to the side of the image. You could easily do the same card, add different flowers according to the season.I know it is fall, but it seemed just like yesterday that I was watching my tulips coming into bloom. You are right!!!Where does the time go!!!!Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-47439710192247198762009-09-18T15:56:00.000-07:002009-09-18T16:10:45.364-07:00Magnolia in Summer<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN6Ki1m2kLy6wscOQ0e1-YqROix5XLjaO6hQrg4LkNsGHHHEC9pZ6iRnuPtlMmrN2HnrPc9_OPdt5MEkuDNQ1-6x6xwnv6poK8L2K-5AF_d5ONYFAcwIb9GPOL4cQCFOAkFCxc9mdi2Bg/s1600-h/scan0001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN6Ki1m2kLy6wscOQ0e1-YqROix5XLjaO6hQrg4LkNsGHHHEC9pZ6iRnuPtlMmrN2HnrPc9_OPdt5MEkuDNQ1-6x6xwnv6poK8L2K-5AF_d5ONYFAcwIb9GPOL4cQCFOAkFCxc9mdi2Bg/s400/scan0001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382946075846318530" /></a><br />Magnolia, these little girls are addicting. I used my copic markers.I also added a dot of translucent white to the eyes and cheeks to make her come alive.<br />After cutting the image out and I added her within an oval nestability, so that the legs would hang over. I added ribbons to the pigtails and punched out butterflies to nestle on her feet and in the upper corner.I think Magnolia is sitting of wishing for butterfly wishes.<br />I love the paper from Stampin Up. I co-ordinated the paper to match Magnolia's dress. I have just bought 3 more of these Magnolia rubber stamps so will share when completed.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-34008710691549507302009-09-14T18:45:00.000-07:002009-09-14T18:53:09.419-07:00House Mouse Chocolate Truffles<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRrWrCmzp4l8jIujsML4n7wpbtgI_R4xXvuMifOeC5fOSEkJmkV-9DUP7rjW7gJ767vJ1MFV9YBXfRbRDa0Zj6ru9_ZkkM2CAqVYj8KBwMvtAkMUL5rgTOvAJCjZOchjW07yvGUDAWHqc/s1600-h/scan0008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRrWrCmzp4l8jIujsML4n7wpbtgI_R4xXvuMifOeC5fOSEkJmkV-9DUP7rjW7gJ767vJ1MFV9YBXfRbRDa0Zj6ru9_ZkkM2CAqVYj8KBwMvtAkMUL5rgTOvAJCjZOchjW07yvGUDAWHqc/s400/scan0008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381505546484878882" /></a><br />I just had to use this stamp once again.

I must confess that sleeping in a tent in northern Ontario is the my passions.A complete change from the busy world.Everything is silent, except for birds,slapping of the water and crickets.<br />My watch is hibernated,letting the warmth of the day or the stars determine the time.<br />Reflecting on those I hold close to my heart family and friends.Most important spending time in God's word and seeking His direction in all things.Thanks for letting me share this part of my life with you.<br />This collage style card is one of my favourite. Stamped in black. Coloured with distress inks,then torn and placed on co-ordinating paper.The brown scalloped strip was added. Co-ordinated buttons just completed the whole card.

You can see that I sprayed my blended mists on a tag.Distressed the edges with distress black soot.Stamped assorted impressions in black.<br />I adhered the tag to reversible printed paper that I had folded up from the bottom.<br />The edge was punched with a Martha Stewart punch.A key hole embellishment and a purple ribbon to finish off.I glued the whole piece to a eggplant coloured card stock, that I had also punched the edge.<br />You have to try this.The effects of the pearl mist is beautiful.<a href="http://www.timholtz.com/vid_ppearl.htm"></a><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123779938475403419.post-9129335254383506392009-07-06T14:15:00.000-07:002009-07-06T14:29:36.563-07:00Dreaming<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkwc3vgNJDkCibzBEU3dHOQ05uVQGRTS1BJBr4pRw-rq-m7VS5dianoO_nlCCzldwKghdN5nO_BUW0FntZejAdv-XJMoaOD5y8frJ2Uvn1iadyrLyxt0ulqOuuAjYz5gRUGcCx6TPa98/s1600-h/2008_11_08+001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkwc3vgNJDkCibzBEU3dHOQ05uVQGRTS1BJBr4pRw-rq-m7VS5dianoO_nlCCzldwKghdN5nO_BUW0FntZejAdv-XJMoaOD5y8frJ2Uvn1iadyrLyxt0ulqOuuAjYz5gRUGcCx6TPa98/s400/2008_11_08+001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355459493610304258" /></a><br />Wondering what you might be dreaming of.I dream of lots of things,the perfect day, the perfect vacation, the perfect setting with families and friends.After stamping this little girl in black on glossy paper, I coloured her with watered down markers.<br />Using the embossing folder, I cut out the leaves and glued them beside the picture and mounted on printed co-ordinating paper.The sentiment was stamped and again I distressed all edges with a very light blue.<br />May all your dreams come true, today.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526279696635001229noreply@blogger.com1
